Allow yourself to be Melancholy for a while.

Transcendence is the most valuable lesson in the world. Everything moves and passes us by. Nothing stays firm, nothings stays. Death is an inevitable aspect of our existence. We lose jobs, we lose friends. We lose dreams, you know and there is also a sense of grieving. Grief is a genuine human experience. It's quite tender and raw. Grief, I believe, is priceless. Many of us who have lost someone have never truly recovered from our loss. As a result, there is a considerable population of people who are grieving unprocessed. You must externalize your emotions. It's time for you to let go of it. It's not something you can put in a bottle. You can't keep it bottled up because it will suffocate you.

If we're frightened to feel that pain, I believe we've lost contact with nature and with our humanity. When we are grieving or experiencing a loss, there are stages that we go through. If we are grieving, most of us would be dissatisfied that we are still grieving. People do want to expedite it. Grieving is not like catching a cold. It evolves with time. It progresses from that terrible grief that you don't believe you'll ever be able to overcome to more of a way of life. The agony is constant. It's only that you've gotten used to it. Going through grief is like to diving into the ocean. When you initially come in, you're constantly blocked by the waves, which are constantly smashing over your head and knocking you down. But first, you must get beyond the breakers. Once you've gotten past the breakers, It's still challenging since the waves are smashing over your head. However, you begin to understand the pattern of the waves as well as the rhythms.

You eventually learn to swim. And there will be storms from time to time, but you will be fine. Things are bound to happen. Today is sunny. Thunder, lightning, and rain are possible this afternoon. You must acknowledge that there is a negative aspect. There is a melancholy side to this. You accept them as they are. And you learn to coexist with them. Inside and outside of them. You learn to live regardless of what happens. It's not that you've forgotten the agony, or that you've stopped grieving; it's simply that another ring has formed around it. The agony and loss do not go away, but you continue to grow in the midst of them.

The grieving process is alive and well. It is quite human. It has an impact on every cell in our bodies. A tsunami has swept through your life, and you're still gathering up the wreckage. And everything has permanently altered. And I believe that requires a great deal of care, compassion, empathy, and self-awareness. Everything we do is infused with our losses, and everything we do is enhanced and made more beautiful by our losses.
